Timmie's has been bought and consumed (saving one tea biscuit for later). DS is up and getting ready for work, DH is still sleeping. After I make my list, I'm going back to bed for a couple of hours...this going to bed at 12:30am and getting up at 5am is NOT for old folks!
1. Library book return
2. Bottles to depot
3. Shopping at a couple of stores to find a winter coat and some warmer pants for work.
4. Critter care
5. At least one 15 minute RR (10 - 15 minutes per room)
6. Attend NaNoWriMo write in at south side library for a couple of hours.
7. Dinner out with DH
8. Tweak morning schedule to allow for heading to work at earlier time
I'd like to get some work done in the yard, too...getting it ready for winter...but it's already looking like a rather full day.

MT, we have always moved ourselves until the move here 15 years ago. We hired a local guy and him and his 2 helpers moved the heavy furniture and appliances. It was during the week and everyone else was working, dh and I did all the boxes. Dd2 decided to do that this time and if he has time he will move as many boxes as possible. Since our move won't be as hurried, we will also have him do the heavy stuff and the refrigerator, if we decide to take it for the garage. I had recommended him to the friends who moved away. They used him and they were so happy, nothing was dented or damaged in any way on their long distance move.
Happy November to everybody! I goofed today, thought it was Wednesday and did some chores I should have waited a day for... only discovered my error when I got here!
Sure enjoyed reading back what everyone was up to. I guess MT's traveling today (wonder if the pigeon is around, sounds like maybe somebody's pet carrier pigeon - and wonder if it's tame enough to let someone read its tags?) And Dee traveling today, beautiful day here in FL to be traveling!
Really enjoyed Harriet's family vinette, including for sure Fay! It's a wonderful feeling to have family all around together.
Hoping everyone is feeling well, thinking about LittleOne and Helia's dd, and thinking about Indiana getting better..
We are fine here except I have been trying to squeeze some sewing time in which means when I get up I hit the floor running. Sunday was very busy helping 3 times with communion also. My time is more than up here so I have to run. Last LOL needs hung up now and I need to ride to bank. There are just enough hours!
I got back up around 9:45am feeling quite a bit more rested! Now that I've almost finished another cup of coffee, it's time to get some things done around here.
I think I'll work in rounds of five...that tends to keep me on track better by breaking things down into smaller bites.
- downstairs critter care
- pick up dog bombs in back yard
- get dressed/take meds
- put away clean dishes
- bring in vacuum and cat litter from car

We've always hired movers. It was part of my deal with dh. He promised to earn tons of money so we could hire people to do the physical labour home ownership entails. In light of that deal, he's done more than his fair share of labour but moving was always subbed out. Even when we just moved things around in the house, I often hired a couple of men to do the work and did it while dh was away.
I'm home for a lunch. Heat is on at the church. I worked steady at Presbytery so we actually accomplished stuff today. Some days I feel like I waste my time.
Good morning all! Last night was my first ever trick or treat with DD. In the past XDH took her and I passed out treats. Either I didn't get any kids or no one liked my treats, because there were tons leftover. However, they are all lunchbox type snacks, so I will donate them to the school. I picked up all the Halloween decor in the yard and put it in the shed, not in bins yet, but at least it won't get damaged. I did some inside cleanup, but it still looks like Halloween inside. Tonight has to be Girls' Night In because DD has strep. I have Chinese food in the fridge for us.
Still proofing documents. Tonight I will try to get all the laundry folded while DD watches a movie in my bed.
